Prof. Dr. Toshio Obi, director of the Institute, based in Tokyo, leader of the research team that prepared the report, noted the increasing importance of e-government in a scenario characterized by the global financial crisis, as well as raised concerns about environmental issues. Professor Obi indicated that ICT can be used as a tool to face these and other issues related to consolidation of an inclusive information society.
